(A) Why does Alexander Hamilton in Federalist, no. 84 caution against attaching a Bill of Rights to the Constitution?
Answer: In Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton, under the pseudonym “Publius,” argues that a bill of rights is not only unnecessary in a well designed constitution but is even dangerous.
(B) Based on what you’ve learned about the expansion of rights in the Bill of Rights via selection incorporation, do you agree or disagree with Hamilton’s reasoning? Why or why not?
Answer: I agree with Hamilton’s reasoning because he was against the idea of adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution. He believed that the Constitution wasn't written to limit the people. It listed the powers of the government and left all that remained to the states and the people.
